You can buy a gift card with the American Express® Gold Card online and at most stores that accept American Express. Keep in mind that some stores won’t accept credit cards for certain types of gift cards, such as general Visa gift cards for example. It’s a good idea to call the store ahead of time to see if they’ll accept your card for a gift card purchase.
You should keep in mind that gift card purchases made with your Amex Gold Card won't be eligible for rewards. The card's terms exclude gift card purchases from the rewards program. That said, you can still get great value, especially if you get one of this year's best gift cards. If you are looking for a gift card, you can check out the best gift card options selected by WalletHub's editors.
